Welcome!

The Tellnet project is now officially over! The project lasted for three years from 1 December 2009 to 30 November 2012. Tellnet was part of the Key Activity 4 'Dissemination and Exploitation of Results', one of the aims of which being "… to ensure that the results of the LLP are appropriately recognised, demonstrated and implemented on a wide scale." Apart from dissemination through European Schoolnet activities, towards this goal, the project has sought wider audience through academic publishing in conference and journal.

Some of the results:

Publication "Teachers networks - Today's and tomorrow's challenges and opportunities for the teaching profession". Download here (in English), a short version in German, French, Spanish and Dutch.

The Tellnet project studied the eTwinning network (almost 180 000 teachers in Oct 2012) through visualisation techniques, Social Network Analysis (SNA) and prospective scenario building exercises. Using these techniques, the goal was to identify the main structures, actors, networks and Communities of practice that are effective in sharing practices, encouraging innovation and creativity at schools.

Insight is designed to support decision makers to develop effective strategies for learning. This dossier addresses the crucial topic of teachers' professional development and how social networks can support it.
